I don't think it's a huge reach to say that Nintendo may have simply just created a console here that doesn't have much of an audience reach beyond the hardcore Nintendo fan. There are a lot of tell tale signs of it already. In which case the term "DOA" isn't really all that unrealistic to say.
Looking back on it, a lot of the consoles that most people today acknowledge as "failures" like the Saturn and GameCube generally are done in by poor decision making/design decisions that are made before the console ever hits a store shelf.
